André Derain More Art

French, 1880-1954

André Derain is best known as a leading figure of the avant-garde movement and — alongside Henri Matisse — a cofounder of Fauvism at the turn of the 20th century. Derain’s innovative use of expressive colors and simplified forms in his figurative paintings, landscapes and portraits continue to dazzle collectors and art enthusiasts everywhere.

Born in 1880 in Chatou, France, Derain began his formal art training at age 18 at the Académie Camillo, where he met Matisse and Maurice de Vlaminck. In 1905, Derain, Matisse and de Vlaminck exhibited their works at the Salon d’Automne in Paris, where critic Louis Vauxcelles used the word fauves (wild beasts) to describe the loosely connected collective of artists’ prioritization of audacious, vivid color in their energetic works, eventually leading to wide adoption of the term Fauvism.

In 1905 and 1906, Derain traveled to London, where he produced a series of Fauvist “form through color” paintings. These included The London Bridge, Charing Cross Bridge and A Corner of Hyde Park. After seeing a retrospective of Paul Gauguin’s work, Derain painted The Dance, a nude that is demonstrative of Gauguin’s influence in its bold, flat colors and in Derain’s depiction of primitive dancing figures.

In 1910, Derain destroyed many of his unsold works and began painting landscapes in the Cubist style of Paul Cézanne. He befriended Pablo Picasso and grew interested in African tribal art. After World War I, he focused on figurative and nude drawings and, in the early 1920s, abandoned Fauvism and Cubism altogether in favor of classical art. In 1930, the artist publicly condemned modernism, leading to his ostracization by the avant-garde community. 

Derain was later honored with a retrospective of his works at the Kunsthalle in Bern, Switzerland. Additionally, the Exposition des Artistes Independants invited Derain to exhibit in 1937.

Derain’s wide range of styles — from Fauvism and Cubism to classicism and Postimpressionism — influenced many artists throughout his lifetime. Today, Derain’s work is held in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Tate gallery in London, the Musée d’Orsay in Paris and the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg.

A 1928 woodcut on paper of a self-portrait of notable Chicago Modernist artist, Emil Armin. Artwork size: 10 1/2" x 8". Archivally matted to: 12 1/2" x 14 1/2. Signed, titled and numbered in pencil. Edition 7/30. Emil Armin was born in Radautz, Austria in 1883. By the age of 10, Armin was orphaned and was raised by his older siblings. He supported himself by working in restaurants and drew in his spare time. In 1905, at the age of 21, Armin immigrated to Chicago. He began studying at the Art Institute of Chicago in 1907, but financial difficulties forced him to start and stop a number of times, finally graduating in 1920. He studied with George Bellows and Randall Davey. Armin was an integral part of Chicago’s 57th Street Art Colony and exhibited in both the more avant-garde Chicago No-Jury Society Shows, as well as the more formal and conventional Chicago Society of Artists Exhibitions, the Chicago Renaissance Society and Art Institute of Chicago (1922-1949) exhibitions.
